New York Times Fakes Photo to Hurt Bush Administration

Always in a rush to score points against their favorite antichrist, the New York Times put up the following photo and caption on their website:
Of course anyone who does not harbor a virulent hatred of the bush administration and isn't completely ignorant of all things military (2 traits common to most liberals) might have noticed that the object in the picture is not a missle but an artillery shell, probably a decade or more old.

After being called on their latest hit piece, the photo has since been removed, but not before being picked up by other news sites. Who knows how many newspaper readers will be shedding tears for the little boy in the misleading photo before all the damage is done?

My Sandman points out some other inconsistencies.
